I used to watch a lot of novelas and they were crazy dramatic but not in a supernatural way, or at least not the ones that I watched. Not witches and demons and time travel and stuff like that. Just your typical over the top soap stuff. Kind of like 80s night time soaps but on steroids! I'm not sure about Korean soaps.

Yeah, I think that one is the medal winner, it got enough press that even people who never watched soaps were aware of it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's about when I gave up on Days.

Nobody did crazy ass like Passions, though! That soap was born to be over the top. I think Passions and Port Charles were the tipping point for over the top supernatural soap opera drama. After those two went off the air, soaps pulled back from being really out there with the demon possession, vampires and witches, possessed puppets storylines. But I feel like that's always been a strain of American soaps, at least since Dark Shadows. And it's just not really present in the soaps that are left these days. Or at least, I don't think it is. I'm not really up on the latest plots.
